I agree! I would rather see Cousins for the whole month of September. But at the moment our first quarter (first half?) defense cannot stop anyone . . .

Cousins didn't really look to good to me in that first half against the Browns.
Remember he has only played in a game and a half or so. Careful for what you wish for.

I don't think anyone is saying that Cousins is more talented than a HEALTHY RG3, only that while RG3 is still recovering and doesn't fully trust his knee, that a healthy Cousins might give the team the best chance to win. Also, RG3 is at an increased risk of re-injury to the knee or suffering a new injury if he's not entirely comfortable out there with his ability to be evasive and be mobile.

Well, neither one of our opinions matter since we're not making the decision. I just don't want to see RG3 reinjure the knee or suffer a new injury elsewhere while he's stumbling around out there trying to "play his way healthy" in front of live NFL defenses.

Our team needs a lot of work. So far, they've proven to be undisciplined (waaaay too many 15 yard penalties), unable to make plays on offense or defense, is losing the turnover battle badly, and can't tackle. Special teams is doing us no favors; it seems both games the team is constantly on the losing end of where the offenses start.
